Mikasa was gripping onto him just as tightly as he was holding her until they got back. She lingered for a moment in his arms but then she hopped down and stepped away. "Thanks for saving my life..." Mikasa looked away from Levi and down at her feet. "I think I'll go put up my gear then go to bed." Levi just watched her as she spoke. "But, uhm, year. Thanks." She looked up at Levi and smiled. Levi, again hesitating, smiled back. "You should smile more often, it suits you." Mikasa said. Levi nodded but let his face go blank again. Mikasa motioned for him to come with her to put up gear. "No way are you going back out there alone." Levi raised an eye brow, but followed her in.

Mikasa woke up and stretched. She remembered last night vaguely after being saved. He assisted her in putting up her gear, they talked for a while outside, and then he walked her back to her room. They said goodnight and left it at that. Mikasa frankly didn't care if it ended there. She had found it cool that it had basically been what people called an average date, but it wasn't average in the beginning. Mikasa rolled the thoughts out of her head and got dressed.
She was ready to sit at her normal table, with her normal friends, and have normal conversation. But instead, Levi flagged her down. "Mind if I snag you for breakfast?" Mikasa fought back a smile. It took effort for her not to smile, but he held it together. She nodded and followed him to his table. He had been sitting alone since his squad was killed, he even had Eren sit with others. Now, everyone gawked at Mikasa and Levi, who sat across from one another. "Are you sure your friends won't mind?" Levi stuck his thumb in the direction of Eren and the gang.
Most were staring at the two in shock, except Eren. Eren glared at them. Lucky for Levi, he tuned them out for the most part and just ate his food. They sat in silence for the most part until they finished. "Well, I guess you want to get back to your entourage." Levi motioned that she was free to go, but Mikasa sat there. "No, I have the day off so I could spend it in your company."
Levi now strained not to smile. He motioned towards the door then. "Well, then maybe we can continue killing titans in the daylight where you don't have broken gear." Mikasa let out a small laugh. "Alright." They stood up and again everyone stared when they left side by side.
